———————————————————————————–

Owain watched as Relvinian shuffled forward. The blue flame flickered to and fro in the background as if aware of what occurred around it.

Relvinian produced a red crystal fragment from a pouch at his side. “You come seeking this?”

“I come to see you rest for the final time.” Owain spat as he steadied his sword in front of him.

Relvinian laughed. He let the black staff at his side fall as he ascended the small set of stairs leading to the sarcophagus at the edge of the room. Owain ran toward him, as he did, Relvinian raised the crystal fragment into the air and thrust it into the base of steps.

Four pedestals rose to surround the sarcophagus, each wielding an artifact of great power. A demon skull, a prophetic treatise, a magician’s crystal ball, and a wilting rose.

As Owain reached the alter, power sparked between the four objects. He raised his sword to strike at Relvinian, and as his sword fell it was met with a powerful burst of energy. Owain tumbled backward as the sound of the crash echoed throughout the cavern. The blue flame jumped to Relvinian’s side as it split into four smaller flames. Each flame danced around Relvinian in wild fashion. Finally they glowing formed energy fields, barring any harm from befalling the undead mage.

“Soon, Lord Surrey, all those of the afterlife will answer to Relvinian and Ix Tab!”

The decrepit lich closed his eyes, entering a trance.

FYI: The hole in the ground of Khaldun Dungeon leading to the secluded room with the zombie was invisible in the Enhanced Client. It took me half an hour to figure that out. I had to switch to the Classic Client and then I could enter. By the time I was finished, Relvinian was already set free.

Please test the features of such quests in the Enhanced Client. More and more people are using it.

Sorry, Hawkeye, that was pretty unforseen. Personally I've never used the enhanced client.
I expected the EC to have the capabilities of 2d when it comes to art, but I'll include that in my efforts for next time.
Thanks for pointing it out, and I hope you still had fun even with the art/rendering flaw.

Aye, no worries, I had fun! I just doubted my intelligence for a short time, because I know Khaldun like my own pocket and couldn't find the entrance to that room.
